Opened my mind to new ways of pricing my services and what value based pricing means as opposed to fixed fees for services. Both are fixed as opposed to time based but value requires consideration/ influence of customer perception, fixed just caps services. Context is not just part of pricing but is part of the product/ value. Personally a lot of the concepts/ strategies were intuitive to me rather than ones I knew about so it was good to understand the theory behind my application. I haven't listened to your other shows but I was really engaged. It's not condescending and it is informative. Chase Legal

I have been listening to this podcast for over a year now and I can honestly say they are producing some great stuff. The guys are very relatable, easy going and really make you feel like you’re sitting in the room with them having a laugh and yet taking in some quality learnings. They get some great guest in and I seem to find that as a business owner myself the topics that they talk about are exactly what I have been wanting to know more of at that particular point of time, I’m not sure how they actually do that, but it gets me loving the show even more. Keep up the good work guys Regards Ben . - Ben from Geelong Cable Locations

In a nutshell? The blokes are the business mentors I would never in a million years have access to, especially in the very immature start-up phase of business. They speak and explain business in a way that’s relatable, especially to the regular everyday Aussie. Give me the intellectual “bogan geek” any-day, who actually knows what they’re talking about. When the blokes speak, I listen. There’s a bloke for every business personality type. You’ll find yourself saying “I completely agree with what he’s saying!” after yet another snippet of quality business advice comes out of your speakers. After regular listening, a pattern will emerge with who you relate to the most. Trying to catch up on the previous episodes, the blokes go with me everywhere. In my car while driving, in the wee hours of the morning (5am starts anyone?), in my downtime, on flights, at home on client-filled weekends... everywhere. The BBB podcast is the icing on my “live and breathe your business” cake. And I’m learning about beer. Highly recommended. - Lorryn_Inches_DG

A friend travelling in Australia recommended this to me and I have not stopped listening for 6 months. I quickly ploughed through all the episodes and now re-listen to my favourites as I wait for the next episode. The blokes talk total sense and have opened my eyes up to so many things. I have since landed a new job & started speaking with a small network of likeminded people. I've recommended this podcast to lots of people now, one of which has left a review as well. We love it! This is a friendly, fun, informative & engaging podcast. Give it a go, you'll be amazed about what you can learn of some blokes on the other side of the world. Shut up you blokes! - Brooklar from UK

Let me know sean AT sportsgeekhq.com or @BeersBlokesBiz or @seancallanan
Please engage the Blokes you like with topics you’d like to listen to
Here is where my head is at with BBB
Season based - running 10 episode seasons around a theme or topic is one idea
Guests - more or less - let me know. I’d like to bring in more guests and also bring some back for a normal episode. If you’d like to nominate someone please let me know. Tell them to listen to the podcasts first.
Changing up the format? Two man interview pod. Three seems to be right number.
Time for a spinoff? Would you listen to a podcast with just Samma & I or Steve & I or James talking UX or Scott talking eCommerce
Timing - fortnightly or weekly it is both an issue of time (mine and the Blokes) and what works best.
Quality - super important to me.
Need to freshen up the Bloke roster?
What I’m planning for 2015...
Diving into podcasting even more - Sports Geek Podcast has been good to me as has BBB
Bringing the best podcasts together will be a goal as well as producing some new ones that I hope you’ll like
BBB will be a part of that
Need more people listening to podcasts and wanting high quality podcasts, tell more people about what podcasts you listen to.
How can you help?
Send me your ideas - topics, guests, thoughts - email me sean AT sportsgeekhq.com
Promote BBB and any podcast you are listening to on your networks - Facebook (1), Linkedin (2) & Twitter (3)

A little over a year ago we launched a video under the banner of Super Awesome Micro Project, if you google Lego Car you will find it no problems.
We thought we'd give this special episode a re-run as we just smashed through the 6 Million Views mark on YouTube.
We recorded the very special bonus edition of Beers, Blokes and Business a few weeks ago as #SuperAwesomeMicroProject was in the final days of the build.
We chat about the project in depth with Steve & Raul, if you watched the video you'll want to know more...
What has happened since we launched?
The world's media paid attention including Mashable, Wired, NBC & BBC to name a few
The Beers, Blokes & Business podcast got a mention in The Verge
Steve has released a book which features a chapter on the car
Episode 19 remains the most downloaded BBB Podcast with over 4000 downloads.

Signup to our email list to receive the #BBB show notes first every week: beersblokesbusiness.com/signup
Game of Tools - You will learn
We are all entrepreneurs / intrapreneurs
There are shed loads of tools - many free - that can help us do things better in our everyday jobs and lives
Note taking tools
Evernote is a great way to store your notes and beats penultimate because no stylus is required
Moleskin black leather bound provides an awesome way to keep notes, but make sure you use a system as mentioned in the Time Management episode
It's easy to be deceived that technology can better manage time, when analogue can work just fine.
The perfect storm is the evernote moleskin combo!
Browser tools
Pinterest pin it button - the visual social network based on topics. Check out Steve's pinterest boards to see how he uses Pinterest to curate content
Pinterest operates on the interest graph level, that is - you can follow certain topics
The Google Chrome web browser offers some great extensions
Momentum is one Chrome extension which takes over your new/empty browser tab to show the time, what is your focus for today
Tools for home
Sean loves the portability of his iPad mini
Apple TV is the best $90 Steve has spent ever - a little device plugs into your TV - lots of free and paid content via Apple iTunes, Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, can stream directly from any iOS device straight to the TV.
Steve has blogged about his experiences with Apple TV
Content curation tools
How to find great work from others and then share it with others
Steve has a "like minded" twitter list to look for inspiration, Sean loves Twitter lists too, we've even got a list of BBB listeners
If This Then That (IFTTT) is great for connecting up your content between different services. For example, whenever Sean likes a photo on instagram IFTTT will save that photo to a dropbox folder. There are truck loads of IFTTT recipes.
IFTTT and the Internet of Things are a marriage made in heaven
Life skills tools
Nike Fuelband helped Sean with his injury recovery and keeps him accountable to his activity goals. We discussed wearables in a previous episode.
YouTube - the greatest education tool that is on the web today - learn to play guitar, cooking, lego, etc
Steve pins his favourite YouTube videos

Podcast Transcription
Announcer: Welcome to the Beers, Blokes and Business Podcast, the podcast for business flex who like beer.
Sean: Here we are on location this week for a very special episode. We are in a man cave so if you hear a bit of noise outside that's why. I'm here with a few blokes and a very special guest. So first of all, I have to introduce the beer, and I brought this one in today and it is Carlton Draft. So as every young red blooded Australian gets brought up, Carlton Draft is the way to go, so I thought we'd, considering we've got our first guest today on the Beers, Bloke and Business Podcast, so first of all, I just want to introduce you to the blokes.
We would have all had a Carlton Draft, so we'll go around the makeshift circle of barrel of trust which is made out of a specific material which we'll get into, but first of all, introduce the blokes. Steve Sammartino.
Steve: Hello Sean. How are you?
Sean: Thanks for having us out here in the man cave.
Steve: No problem. No problem at all.
Sean: Scott Kilmartin.
Scott: Hi, boys.
Sean: And, I'm going to get his name wrong, because I don't know how to say this. It's Raul and how do you say your second name?
Raul: Oiada.
Sean: And Raul, you might know, I think it was Episode Three, we talked about SAMP and project management, and we are here, in what has been officially turned into the SAMP cave where we're putting together the last pieces of the puzzle which is the Lego car. We're recording this on November 24. This one will go out when we've launched the SAMP cast. So Steve is furiously checking his phone for his notes, and he can't find them.
Steve: They're here.
Sean: You've lived the project. You don't need the notes.We recorded the very special bonus edition of Beers, Blokes and Business a few weeks ago as #SuperAwesomeMicroProject was in the final days of the build.
